Music from modern Iraq, along with lyrics and artists.
Assyrian music holds a special place in the hearts of all Assyrians. Since most cannot read or write their own language, Assyrian music is the only conveyer of poetry, the raiser of consciousness, and the instigator of national pride.
Since the Syriac-Aramaic language is so rich and full of depth, lyrics pour and metaphors flow. The translations (when provided) serve as an injustice to the true beauty of the poetry that a language like English cannot convey.
Just to mention the names of such singers as Ashur Bet-Sargis or Evin Agassi makes the blood of Assyrians pump through wildly through their national veins.
Assyrians loyally support their singers, for how silent their nation would be without them.
